Mwengi Mutuse","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Section 12 of the Leadership and Integrity Act of 2012 be amended by deleting all the proposed amendments to Section 12A. Hon. Temporary Chairman, our reasoning is as follows: First, the new amendment proposes that once all persons applying for public offices are shortlisted, the list is sent to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) for vetting purposes. That is an excellent provision because that is the current practice."}
